D'après Bugatti - Sculpture, ***Éléphant D’Asie Mendiant*** - 24.5 cm - Polystone, Resin

Begging Asian Elephant

Magnificent polystone resin piece, Begging Asian Elephant model, after Bugatti, in excellent overall condition.

Bugatti was already fascinated by African elephants at the Jardin des Plantes when he was living in Paris. In Antwerp, he had ample opportunity to study their Asian counterparts in their spectacular enclosure, which was shaped like an Egyptian temple. Bugatti went there almost every day and enjoyed feeding these begging giants, who held out their very sensitive trunks.

Rembrandt Annibale Bugatti (October 16, 1884, in Milan – January 8, 1916, in Paris 7th arrondissement) was an Italian animal sculptor. He was the son of Italian designer Carlo Bugatti, the grandson of Giovanni Luigi Bugatti, a renowned Italian sculptor and architect, the younger brother of Ettore Bugatti, who founded the Bugatti brand in France in 1909, and the uncle of Franco-Italian racing driver Jean Bugatti.
